Advantages of a tapered bo:

 

- Better impact resistance.

 

- Better control over the center mass.

 

- Easier to move from one end to the other quickly.

 

- Smaller impact point for jabs & strikes.

 

- Easier to maneuver into locks and disarms due to smaller end.

 

Disadvantages of a tapered bo:

 

- Less mass.

 

- Not balanced correctly for swinging from the very ends (if that’s what your into).

 

- Items you find on the street that you might use as a bo will not likely be tapered.

 

I'm sure there are more, but these are the first that come to mind.
